Restorative Yin yoga is a passive series of poses held for 3-5 minutes each. These poses target the deep connective tissues of the body and the fascia that cover the body to help regulate the flow of energy in the body. It is unique in that you relax in the posture. You soften and it can be meditative. Some benefits:

calms the mind

regulates energy

increases mobility, especially joints, connective tissue/flexibility

lowers stress/relaxation

greater stamina

lubricates joints

helps TMJ/migraines

aids in Yang practices (flow/vinyasa, etc)

teaches you to listen to your body

Practice both Yin/Yang (other types of Yoga) for balance.

“ I never liked Sunday evenings… weekend over, dreaded Monday morning looming… but some time ago, I discovered Becky’s Yin class and now I have something to look forward to at the close of the weekend. Becky’s classes are never repetitive… she expertly guides her yogis through a different series of yin poses each week, accompanied by soft eclectic music that really enhances the relaxing and soothing experience in mind and body. This class is a wonderful way to begin your week.”

“Becky’s classes always have a nice flow and I leave feeling relaxed and restored for my week ahead. She is a great and caring yoga teacher!”

“ Becky takes the student through a series of stretches that are held for longer periods of time.She pairs the stretches with music which helps me to focus on the stretch.At the end of a session, I feel both stretched and relaxed at the same time.”

Becky Maze is a Knoxville native and has shown an interest in yoga since her college days. She is also a Dental Hygienist and holds a B.S. in Health Education. Her desire to know yoga’s balance intensified in 2005 as her life changed and growing pains ensued. She studied yoga under Asheville’s Cindy Dollar (Iyengar Method) at the Glowing Body and she claims Patty Dougherty to be one of her most precious mentors. She has a love for vinyasa and yin and is a Reiki Master. Her personal yoga journey has brought her into a more balanced lifestyle, which she delights in sharing with others through teaching.

I accidently fell into teaching, started training in all the above disciplines, and became a certified instructor. For yoga specifically, I have completed two 200 RYT sessions, with a strong emphasis on Hatha, Karma, Jnana, and Bhakti Yoga. I knew, even way back then, that I belong in that role.My desire to watch and teach and help people break through and become strong and confident are my motivation.

It is amazing to see the physical, mental and emotional shifts that people make through exercise.

Everything I trained for before yoga, was my preparation for yoga.Yoga finds us when we are ready. I have tried to “gently force” people into yoga (cause I know how good it is), but truly you have to let it find you.

Those who are inflexible, need yoga to become more flexible.

Those who are weak, need yoga to become strong.

Those who are stressed, need yoga to become relaxed.

Hopefully we will meet each other on the mat.I truly look forward to it.
